how to get input from UIAlertView?

Question

I want take player name as input by using UIAlertView. Is it possible to add textField on the UIAlertView?

Answer 1

Since iOS 5, UIAlertView provides this: change the alertViewStyle property to one of the following:

UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput (1 text field)
UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput (1 password field)
UIAlertViewStyleLoginAndPasswordInput (both a text field and password field)

Then use textFieldAtIndex: to get the text field you want. This way, you can even use the alertViewShouldEnableFirstOtherButton: delegate method to enable the button.
